@Lash,
The post keeps going on about "hand tally vs machine count" but there is no evidence given that the hand tally (not an actual vote count, mind you, just a jotted tally) is more accurate than the machine count.
This is a correlation turned on its head to imply causation. Could there be other reasons why Clinton voters correlate to poorer precincts that can't buy newer machines? Anyone? Let's not always see the same hands....
Also, the article itself admits that correlation is not causation and just speaks to the point that we need to do more to ensure the integrity of the voting process. I actually agree with that point.
I agree that security around electronic voting is a joke. I will not argue that we need better controls to make sure there is no vote tampering.
This is just a re-run of the same Sanders complaints about the
Democratic primary excluding voters registered as
independents. Maybe he should have understood the process a little better, and gotten his folks out registering those independents as Democrats a little sooner.
As usual, this does not add up to fraud, vote tampering, or a massive "establishment conspiracy."
You want fair elections? Go get your hands dirty and volunteer at a voting precinct. I see these 70 year-old ladies running all of the ones here in Austin; I'm really not surprised that they're not up to date on network and computer security practices....
